Hi The reason i'm posting is because when i try to run a program in wine it doesn't work. if i try launching from terminal it says: wine: cannot find L"C:\\windows\\system32\\fgfs.exe" Assuming the program is fgfs (flightgear). Could anyone help me?

$ wine fgfs. Or just clicking on the flightgear icon in the wine programs folder in "start menu" , then just nothing happens. By the way iv'e tried other programs too, and nothing works, i'm just using flightgear for an example

It's usually caused by insufficient memory on your video card (or bugs with the display manager).I don't know how resource-heavy/light the program you're trying to run is, but it does appear to be an older system.Somewhat useful discussion on the error here: http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?t=32259

Well the Program worked when i still had windoze installed... but lots of other things didnt and Mint is a million times better than that even if i can´t fly with it...BTW could it be i haven't got the correct video/graphics driver installed?

open your Home folder and "CTRL+H" to show hidden filesa and folders. then go to .wine-->Drive_C and find the EXE of the program and run it manualy and see if it open. If it does then the shortcut in the menu is broken ( it is not uncommon for that to happen ).

To create a shortcut to Wine apps just right click desktop and choose create launcher, under type set it to "Location", then browse to app via home/.wine/Drive_c/ to where EXE is, give it a name and icon and shortcut created
